(According to the suggestions in the book review section, the new girl’s name was revised to Viktoria Konstantinovna Tsiolkovskaya. Russian names really need to be long enough to be interesting)
"Uh," Lin Youde was a little at a loss, "Are you... the holder of that kind of bloodline?"
"If the bloodline you are referring to is..."
Soon after, Josephine, who had been guarding behind Lin Youde, moved forward, took a step forward, held the Mauser K98 in her hand at some point, raised her hand and fired a shot in the distance.
.
"Well, he's injured on the Big Throw Tower (on the Big Lighthouse)." Josephine said in Chinese with a tongue that obviously turned too many corners. While pulling the bolt, a brass cartridge case was pulled out of the gun by the grappling hook.
machine and rolled to the ground.
Only then did Lin Youde notice that there was a terrifying scar on the wooden butt of the K98 in Josephine's hand, so he lowered his head and found the still smoking bullet hole without much effort.
Just now, the girl rushed out, blocked the bullet fired at Victoria with the butt of her gun, and shot the shooter. The sound of the counterattack coincided with the sound of the shooting, so Lin Youde only heard "one gunshot"
”.
When the guard behind him used the radio to call the airborne guard Shen Ji to check the lighthouse, Josephine turned the gun over and thrust it on the ground, and calmly began to straighten her hair that was messed up when she just broke in.
Lin Youde stared at his fiancée and sincerely praised: "What a skill."
"Thanks."
"I want to thank you too." English with a thick Russian accent penetrated Lin Youde's ears. He followed the sound and saw a girl with silver hair and red eyes sticking her head out from behind the tree next to the gate.
"You... hid quite quickly." Lin Youde continued to admire sincerely.
"I'm better at escaping."
The girl who came out from behind the tree looked a little shy.
**
All Shen Ji brought back was the body of the shooter. The professional bitten the poison sac in his dentures responsibly and committed suicide.
"Russian?" Lin Youde murmured after carefully looking at the man's Slavic face.
"Even if they are Slavs, they are not necessarily sent by Russia. You have to ask Miss Victoria for details." Josephine said.
At this time, Victoria was being served by Lin Youde's maid team to wash up and eat. The girl seemed to have suffered a lot along the way. She was dirty and hungry. Lin Youde felt pity and ordered the maid team to bring out the best.
specifications to entertain her.
Originally, Lin Youde thought that it would take the girl an hour to get ready and come out to meet people, but he did not expect that less than ten minutes later, the girl entered Lin Youde's study surrounded by maids.
"Is it really okay to wear such beautiful clothes for me?" The girl looked very shy. She shrank her neck in fear, and carefully held the hem of the long skirt with both hands, for fear that the hem of the skirt would touch the ground.
Dirty, "This set of clothes... let me wear more normal coarse cloth clothes..."
How could Lin Youde agree to this request? This girl was already well-off, and she looked stunning with this outfit.
"I'm afraid you have to get used to wearing beautiful clothes from now on." Lin Youde smiled and said to the girl, "Besides, aren't you hungry? How about going to eat first?"
"These maids have just served me a meal. The rice soup is delicious."
Lin Youde was stunned for a moment, then realized that the girl was talking about porridge. Nowadays, Chinese food is not as world-famous as later generations. Chinese-style porridge does not yet have a widely recognized English translation - the etymology of the later used e is in ancient times.
In English, it means vegetable soup, but at this point in time, it is mainly used to refer to the rising cereal...
Therefore, it is really helpless for Russian girls to call porridge rice soup. By the way, Lin Youde and others directly use transliterations when introducing Chinese dishes that have no proper nouns to foreign friends. Porridge is called "zhou" and dumplings are called "zhou".
jiaozi”, and so on….
Since the girl had already eaten the porridge, it was unlikely that she would suddenly faint from anemia in the middle of the conversation, so Lin Youde stopped caring and started asking the girl about her origins.
Viktoria is 20 years old this year. She has been adopted by a Russian nobleman since she was sensible. The nobleman forced her to learn all kinds of knowledge and postures. When she grew up to about 10 years old, she was forced to use her mind.
And the body serves the nobles. The nobles publish Victoria's research results as their own, and then force Victoria to satisfy his twisted sexual desire as a reward for the girl - the nobleman seems to be naturally frigid and has no desire to fuck women.
He became interested, but happened to be in the debauched old Russian aristocratic circle. Over time, he developed a strange hobby of using various instruments to play with and tease girls. Viktoria was the most "favored" among his many "toys".
one.
But one day, the tsar suddenly announced that he would protect "sub-races" with special bloodlines and extremely high talents in science. Victoria and the noble realized almost at the same time that Viktoria was the one the tsarist government wanted to protect.
As a member of the subhuman race, the noble decided to send Viktoria to his newly purchased remote territory in the Siberian wilderness to be imprisoned to prevent her from being discovered by the tsar's spies.
During the transportation, Viktoria escaped, and then traveled alone through the Siberian wilderness and the Afghan desert, and then entered British territory. By this time, Viktoria's original owner had reported Viktoria's matter to the Tsar.
, falsely claiming that Viktoria was the survivor he found in Siberia after all the hardships.
So the Tsar rewarded the nobles and sent spies to recover Victoria.
Almost at the same time, the British intelligence agencies also took action after hearing the news. While fighting wits with the spies of the two big countries, Victoria traveled through India and Burma, and finally took a boat from French Indochina to Helang Yabo, ending
Her journey lasted for more than a year.
And Tsarist Russia's intelligence agencies had long been prepared to kill her when there was no hope of recapturing her, to prevent others from gaining access to her wisdom.
"You... are really amazing." Lin Youde said sincerely for the third time today.
"I'm better at escaping." Victoria said very embarrassedly.
"But why did you come all the way to Nanyang to find me? Wouldn't it be better to seek protection from the Russian government nearby?"
Facing Lin Youde's question, the girl hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly: "I don't know if you will believe it, but... I want to come to Nanyang just because I want to meet my people."
It seems that unlike the rough-and-tumble Sophie, Victoria is a delicate and delicate child.
No, Lin Youde corrected in his mind, Sophie also has a delicate side, but after being adopted by him, the little girl's life was so smooth that her nerves became thicker and thicker.
"Sophie is in the laboratory. She is very bad-tempered right now. She ignores anyone who calls her before the experiment is finished." Lin Youde smiled apologetically at Victoria, "Before she comes back, you can take a rest first."
"Ah, this is not urgent." Victoria waved her hand in a panic, "Besides, it is impossible for a stranger like me to appear suddenly to meet your top scientists. I originally planned to spend three to five months.
I need time to prove my worth, and then ask to meet with Miss Tesla... So it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. Please give me a small laboratory and let me do research. I can try my best with diet and so on.
To be simple, as long as I have the same standards as the maids here, if you feel that the clothes I wear at the beginning will hinder the beauty of the house, then let me wear the same maid uniforms as the maids."….
"How is this possible?" Lin Youde shook his head in disagreement, "From today on, you are my, um, staff. How can you wear the same clothes and eat the same food as the maid? You have to try to get used to beautiful clothes and big clothes.
House, understand? That's an order."
The girl didn't speak. She stared at Lin Youde for a long time before sniffing hard.
"Are you okay?" Josephine approached the girl and asked with concern while taking out her handkerchief.
The girl shook her head, her silver braids swaying slightly behind her. She took Josephine's handkerchief and turned away. A moment later, when she faced Lin Youde again, her face became much refreshed.
The girl turned around, took her box from the maids, and said while opening the combination lock: "I brought a greeting gift. The previous owner once asked me to help improve the design of the new Tsarist Russian Army General's Armor. After the work is completed,
, I copied the entire set of drawings from memory."
After speaking, the girl took out a large bundle of drawings and piled them on Lin Youde's desk.
General Feng Jia has always been a soft supporter of the Nanyang Army. At the beginning, Lin Youde didn't have enough money, so he could only invest according to priority. Investments related to General Feng Jia, which were the slowest to generate profits, were placed in the comparison.
The place at the back. After two years, Lin Youde had enough money, but found that he could not buy a general with excellent performance.
The mechanism technique in the East is not bad. There are hundreds of thousands of direct disciples of the Mohist family alone, and there are countless other craftsmen who have no direct descendants. However, the force guidance technology in the West was originally developed based on aristocracy and the knight system, and the number of craftsmen is small.
High, the system is complex. In modern times, the West set off a wave of systematizing force-guiding technology, with the aim of turning force-guiding technology into a discipline that can be standardized by mathematics like modern science. However, even in 1900, this effort could not
It has not been a complete success.
The result is that each country has a relatively independent tradition of force guidance technology, and the general wind armor and Shenji amplification equipment produced by each country also has its own merits. All countries are developing new force guidance equipment, which are top secrets. Lin Youde wants to buy them all.
They couldn't buy it. So Lin Youde could only find a way to recruit the group of force-guiding craftsmen trained during the Westernization Movement from the mainland. He planned to develop his own force-guiding technology based on these people, and at the same time purchased some outdated generals to arm Nanyang.
The generals of the army.
However, these craftsmen trained during the Westernization Movement also learned relatively outdated technologies in the West. If we develop from scratch with these people, we have already lost a lot at the starting line.
Therefore, in Lin Youde's development ideas, the priority of force guidance technology has never been high. After all, if he develops natural science, Lin Youde will not only not suffer, but also have advantages. Bottlenecks such as technological level can also be made up for by spending money - now this
At this point in time, Americans were very talkative, unlike fifty years later when they became the big brother and would come with a bunch of conditions attached to buying some machine tools.
In addition, even in this era, technology still has its own advantages over supernatural technologies such as force-guiding technology: that is the ability to mass produce. In the last time and space, Ivan Bear used the T34 sea push to win the mustache's zoo, which reflected
The power of mass production - Ivan Bear is different from the American Empire at the same time. The US Empire can produce so many Shermans because of its high industrial production capacity. Ivan Bear's production is achieved purely by reducing quality.
Therefore, Lin Youde formed a concept that in terms of quality, as long as it is reliable and durable, other things should be taken care of as much as possible, such as mass production capabilities.
The equipment system of the Nanyang Army embodies Lin Youde's ideas very well. One shot of the rocket launcher can only scratch the itch of the well-protected general's armor, so I will give one to everyone, and when they see the general, they can shoot it.
, masturbate until you die. The accuracy of the flower mechanism is not good. I will equip you with a hundred-round drum. If you fire so many rounds, one of them will hit...
Lin Youde's thinking also affected the Nanyang system's view on force guidance technology. Just make sure you have what you can't produce on a mass scale. The lack of supernatural force power can be made up for by the strength of conventional troops.
Therefore, to be honest, Lin Youde is not very interested in the detailed design drawings of Russia's latest general style armor. Firstly, this is not the focus of the Nanyang Army's army building. Secondly, even if there are design drawings, relying on Nanyang's force-guiding technology level,
Whether it can be made is still doubtful. Finally, there is another point. This wind armor was made for use on the great plains of Europe, which is a bit far from the imaginary combat area of the Nanyang Army.
However, it would still be good to exchange some things with Britain, France and the United States.
As soon as Lin Youde had such an idea, Victoria asked anxiously: "You... are not interested in this design?"
Lin Youde couldn't help but be surprised.
This girl is really thoughtful.
"Yes." Lin Youde admitted without hesitation, "Our army's policy of building an army does not attach much importance to generals and armor. But you don't have to worry, you have something in your mind that interests me. I want to know what you think about it.
What are the ideas for an intra-atmospheric aircraft that does not rely on force guidance technology and Shenji’s supernatural abilities?”
"Eh? This..." The girl looked confused, but she still answered Lin Youde's question seriously, "Now if we just want to build a machine that can fly, that's not a big problem, but there is no such thing as a machine like this.
It makes sense. Such a machine is too fragile when faced with Shen Ji and the Cloud Walker, so all countries have given up on development, and only private research continues."
The girl's tone sounded quite regretful when she said this.
In fact, Lin Youde is also paying attention to this aspect. Just like Victoria said, the aircraft that shined in the last time and space are neglected in this time and space. In fact, as long as you look at the performance of the early aircraft in the previous time and space, it is very clear.
It is easy to understand the neglect of them in this time and space: with such scumbag performance, even energy production does not have much effect. In comparison, the advantages of Shenji and Cloud Walker are simply too obvious.
Lin Youde once seriously thought about the solution to this situation, and the final conclusion was--
"The key lies in power. If the power is insufficient, no matter how much improvement is made in the aerodynamic shape, the effect will be minimal. Only with enough power can the wings provide enough lift, the aircraft can have enough maneuverability, and can carry enough fuel and
ammunition."
Victoria's mouth opened slightly, obviously surprised by Lin Youde's sudden words.
"...Ah, yes, it is indeed motivation. You...you are just as I imagined, you are a very...very..." The girl tilted her head, as if racking her brains to find a suitable word to describe Lin Youde, but
Finally, she shook her head and said, "I don't know how to describe it, but I think I can understand the reason why Miss Tesla is loyal to you."
No, you must be thinking wrong.
Not only Lin Youde couldn't help but grin, Josephine beside him also smiled and turned away.
Victoria looked confused.
Lin Youde coughed a few times and said, "So, Victoria, how many horsepower engines do you think are needed to enable a conventionally powered aircraft to have the ability to compete with the Cloud Walker and the Shenji?"
"At least a thousand horsepower."
When Lin Youde heard this, he thought, come on, he won't be able to build an airplane for at least ten years.
You must know that the aircraft power during World War I was only 80 to 100 horsepower, and the Red Baron's aircraft only had 110 horsepower. Therefore, it is impossible to rely on aircraft to establish air superiority in the short term.
Doesn't that mean that this girl won't be of use in a short time?
At this moment, Lin Youde's eyes fell on the Russian general's wind armor design drawings she brought, and a new idea squeezed into Lin Youde's mind...
In this world, no one has developed general armor for naval warfare.
The reason is simple: it cannot float.
The advantages of the wind armor in this world are exactly opposite to the advantages of humanoid machines reflected in the so-called real-type robot animations in the previous time and space. The wind armor in this world is stronger in resistance. The wind armor uses the force-guiding technology to reduce the attack.
The energy is converted into heat energy, which is neutralized by dissipating heat or even melting the armor, thereby achieving ultra-high protection capabilities. However, these force-guided armors will be consumed, so more armor must be hung to achieve better protection.
.
Once in the sea, this protective power becomes a constraint: if the wind is too heavy, reducing the weight will not be enough to effectively resist the attack of the Goddess carried by the battleship. The same result will be achieved by increasing the volume to obtain buoyancy. Anyway, in the water,
The shackles of buoyancy eliminate the biggest advantage of Jiangfeng. Unless you build a Jiangfeng as big as a battleship - but in that case, why not just turn the ship into a flying battleship? The cost is already high anyway.
That’s outrageous. There’s nothing wrong with getting a flying device, right?
Some people may say that if you can't float, just dive. But who knows that saying this just proves his ignorance.
But these are conclusions based on the thinking of "contemporary people".
Lin Youde is a man from the future.
Lin Youde once imagined such a kind of general: its armor is thinner than that of ordinary generals, and it also has stronger power in the water. In addition, its shape allows it to gain "lift" in the water like an airplane.
After Lin Youde told Victoria this idea, the girl held her cheek and said, "It's possible, but in order to obtain enough lift to lift the wind in the water, the power requirements are higher."
"But that's General Wind Armor, isn't it?"
"Ah...I see, it relies on force-guiding technology to provide power."
The power provided by the force guidance technology is not only strong, but also has the advantage that there will never be any mechanical failure. As long as it is not hit, there will never be any problems with the power of the wind in the water, and as long as it has power, it has
Buoyancy - On the contrary, after losing power, it can only sink to the bottom like a big iron block.
Victoria seemed to understand Lin Youde's thoughts instantly, but the confusion on her face still did not lighten: "But what's the point of such a thing? It still can't compete with the ship-borne goddess, and it can't even withstand the attack of the secondary gun of a large warship.
…”
"As long as it doesn't surface, use sonar to locate it underwater and launch torpedoes to attack."
"torpedo……"
"That's right, and it's this kind of torpedo." Lin Youde took a piece of paper and quickly drew on the paper the schematic diagram of the Russian supercavitating torpedo that he read in "Ship Knowledge".
Manufacturing this kind of torpedo under the existing technical conditions must rely on force-guiding technology, which also means that this kind of torpedo will definitely cost more than one life, but it is obviously worthwhile to exchange one torpedo for a battleship. In Lin Youde's idea, he
Only the captain of the underwater general's Fengjia squadron has the opportunity to carry expensive supercavitating torpedoes, while all other aircraft carry ordinary torpedoes or artistic torpedoes.
Victoria's eyes lit up: "Rocket propulsion? I never dreamed that rockets could be used underwater, but... this supercavitation effect... well, it makes sense in principle."
In this era, no one has probably observed the supercavitation effect produced by an object in water exceeding a speed of one hundred knots, but Viktoria came to the conclusion that this phenomenon makes sense in principle just based on Lin Youde's brief introduction.
It can be seen that this guy is really accomplished in fluid mechanics.
"But..." It's hard to say that it's hard to talk to scholars with a scientific spirit. What Lin Youde said to others is particularly convincing, but Victoria has mentioned countless things in just a few dozen minutes.
Question and counterargument, "With the sonar positioning you mentioned, and the use of this torpedo to attack targets, the combat effectiveness of directly building a submarine should be better than using this miniaturized general."….
Lin Youde had thought about this problem a long time ago. After all, he usually didn't have much to do. Apart from picking up girls, he spent all his time thinking.
"The construction of submarines places high demands on the entire industrial system. We will not be able to have such industrial capabilities in the short term."
"Short term?" Victoria tilted her head, "That is to say, you have the need to use this kind of underwater weapon in recent years, right?"
Lin Youde shrugged, noncommittal.
He will not tell the girl that the main ship of his "fishery fleet" is already lying in the American dock. It is a world-class battleship, and that ship is now certain to be equipped with epoch-making new equipment:
Sky Eye. This system, named Sky Eye by Lin Youde, can be described using the vocabulary of the previous time and space: radar and ship-borne ballistic computer.
Therefore, in future naval battles, Lin Youde really does not expect that the underwater warrior Jiang Feng will be his big killer. The BB that can fire at a distance of more than 30 kilometers and accurately hit the enemy ship is his big killer. In order to install the ballistic computer, Lin Youde specifically asked the Americans to change
The design of the armored floor of the battleship leaves a large space for the installation of the magic calculation that Sophie has improved based on the actual operation of the magic calculation. The Americans are not fools. When they saw that such a large empty cabin was left, they immediately guessed that Lin Youde was going to go inside.
It took a long time for the two parties to agree on the conditions. After Lin Youde's ship was built, Lin Ji provided ballistic calculations to arm the same type of warship built for the U.S. Navy.
But Americans don’t know that radar exists.
Although he has a big weapon in his hand, he can never have too many trump cards. Now he just picked up a girl who is proficient in fluid mechanics design and seems to have a good understanding of general wind armor and force-guiding technology. Lin Ji is not short of money.
, it doesn’t matter if you take on one more project.
Just when Lin Youde decided to let Viktoria take charge of the development of Water Warrior Wind, Sophie kicked open the study door and came in.
"Ah." The little girl made this sound when she met Victoria's eyes.
Both girls looked quietly at the person who was probably their only remaining member of the same race, and did not speak for a long time. Victoria's eyes gradually burst into tears, but Sophie kept a poker face.
Finally, Sophie was the first to speak: "Don't cry, we are not such weak beings."
"Well...but..." Viktoria unconsciously switched to Russian, "But I'm not alone. This is really great."
Sophie frowned and turned to look at Lin Youde - she seemed to be really not good at facing this situation.
Lin Youde just smiled and shrugged at Sophie.
So the little electromagnetic geek girl who always went her own way sighed rarely, and then took out a dirty piece of cloth from her pocket and gave it to Victoria - Ba always prepared a handkerchief for Sophie, but every time Sophie
This handkerchief will be as dirty as a rag when it comes out of the laboratory.
After doing this, Sophie ran to Lin Youde's desk as if running away. Her eyes were quickly attracted by the pictures and simple notes on the table.
"Using general wind for fighting in water?" Sophie curled her lips, "Well, I just have an idea that seems good to use in water."
After saying this, Sophie took the banknotes and quickly drew a picture that was completely incomprehensible to Lin Youde's IQ.
"The field generated by this device can magnetize the seawater entering the field, and then #@#%￥*& (this method is used to simulate a principle that the author does not understand, huh). Do you understand?"
Lin Youde and Josephine both had the same expression: open-mouthed and stunned.
Only Viktoria nodded in understanding.
Suddenly Lin Youde seemed to remember something.
"Can this system provide power to our ships in the water?"
"Well, it can also greatly reduce the resistance caused by water bodies."
Lin Youde patted his head and said "Oh", and finally knew what it was: magnetic fluid propulsion!….
"But doesn't this thing require very high resistance coefficient of the thruster?"
Lin Youde remembered that in the 21st century, the bottleneck restricting magnetic fluid propulsion technology was room-temperature superconducting materials. In 1900, producing such materials was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
As a result, as soon as Lin Youde asked the question, Sophie looked at him with an expression of "Are you an idiot?"
"The only conductor that is truly directly energized is the part of the shell that needs to cut the magnetic field. With such a small size, even if the resistance is relatively large, it will not have any impact, as long as the heat is dissipated."
Lin Youde was dumbfounded. This seemed to be a little different from the magnetic fluid propulsion technology he had been exposed to.
"Could it be that this device directly magnetizes the seawater around the submersible and then energizes a certain part of the submersible shell to generate power?"
"What else can we do?"
"So where does electricity come from?"
"When I was in the United States, didn't I experiment with converting Shen Ji's supernatural power into electricity? So of course the electricity comes from the guidance core of Jiang Fengjia. I really don't understand why those guidance craftsmen go to all this trouble.
Wouldn't it be great to study how to guide and utilize the extremely unstable energy flowing out of the guidance core and directly turn it into electricity?"
One of the difficulties of force-guiding technology is that the power generated by Shenji and the force-guiding core will contain various uncertain factors, so a series of special adjustments must be made for each Shenji and each core, so the amount of wind
Why is giving birth so difficult?
Lin Youde was keenly aware of the huge opportunity hidden in Sophie's words.
Why not use it as electricity?
If there is a way to convert the energy generated by the guidance core into electrical energy for use, wouldn't the guidance core be equivalent to a miniaturized high-power battery that can operate almost permanently?
Isn’t the energy problem of power armor that has troubled individual equipment experts in the 21st century solved?
Lin Youde, can't he reveal a genuine magnetic storm infantry?
"Sophie, when did you solve the problem of electrical energy conversion in the guidance core?"
"Recently, I suddenly had inspiration."
Lin Youde wanted to laugh, this must be the bonus effect brought by God's calculation of this wonder of the world!
"Sophie, call all your best students here, Victoria, come too. Josephine, don't leave either. Come and find some officers with combat experience in the army.
, Didn’t He Yuzhao just come back from the north, so let’s find him, and then find the person in charge of industrial production—forget it, just get Du Qifeng back to me, and let’s study the issue of electric generals.”
